Erin Owens

There are a lot of children who struggle with big emotions and frequent meltdowns. They may have a hard time listening or following directions, feel anxious or fearful, struggle with sleep, or act out at school.

These challenges can become even bigger during life transitions like moving, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. For parents, this can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself constantly worrying if your child is okay.

You might be questioning what you should be doing differently or wondering if you’re missing something important. The truth is, you’re doing the best you can and big behaviors are your child’s way of asking for help. When kids act out, it’s often because they’re carrying something they don’t yet have the words or skills to express.

I’m Erin Owens, a child therapist at Kid Matters. I offer a warm, judgment-free space for kids and families to grow together.

I help get to the root of what’s going on so you’re not just managing behavior, you’re truly helping your child feel more calm, secure, and understood. As a mother myself, I know how heavy it can feel when your child is hurting and you’re not sure how to help.

For over 15 years I’ve been working with children who have struggled with big emotions, anxiety, or major life changes.
